Hello ewjoey,

The project you are working on is about measuring the velocity and acceleration of coronal mass ejections from solar observatory data. Data for numerous CME events are available and you could make your motion measurements for several events. One question that comes to mind is: “Do the CME velocities and accelerations from different events vary?”.

I hope this helps and good luck with your project. Please post again if you have more questions.
