Abstract: Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are huge eruptions of magnetized plasma that propagates out from the Sun into space. These powerful and complex events can interact with Earth's magnetic field and cause important disruptions. Because of their impact, scientists study CMEs to understand where they start, how they erupt, and how they travel from the Sun into interplanetary space. In my presentation, I will share a statistical overview of the properties of CMEs and update you on recent research using data from the Solar Orbiter spacecraft. I will also talk about the challenges scientists face when studying CMEs and the opportunities for future discoveries with new space missions.
