An interstellar cloud is a denser-than-average part of the interstellar medium, (ISM). It is matter and radiation in the space between the star systems in a galaxy.  An interstellar cloud is formed by the gas and dust particles from a red giant in its later life. The cloud is made of gas, plasma, and dust in our and other galaxies.  Its hydrogen can be: Neutral and ionized clouds are sometimes also called "diffuse clouds".
An HI region or H I region ("H one") is a cloud in the interstellar medium composed of neutral atomic hydrogen (HI). These regions do not emit detectable visible light (except in spectral lines from metal elements).  H I regions are clouds of neutral hydrogen which glow faintly with infrared light. Because they are common in our galaxy, they obscure distant views at extreme ultraviolet and soft x-ray wavelengths. An exception is the Lockman Hole, through which we have a fairly clear window to distant objects.  Another window into deep space is the Chandra Deep Field South. This was chosen for the Chandra X-ray Observatory satellite.
The Lockman Hole is an area of the sky which is like a clear window into far distant space. From our position in the Milky Way galaxy, most directions are partly blocked or obscured by H I clouds of neutral hydrogen. These glow faintly with infrared light and obscure distant views at extreme ultraviolet and soft x-ray wavelengths.  The H I clouds interfere with observations at those wavelengths in nearly all other directions. So the Lockman Hole is an attractive area of the sky for observational astronomy surveys. It is near the pointer stars of the Big Dipper in the constellation Ursa Major. is about 15 square degrees in size, and is named after its discoverer, astronomer Jay Lockman.
