## In brief

- The AAS Nova article asks how well researchers can reconstruct the properties of a coronal mass ejection from data a spacecraft collects while passing through it.
- New modeling uses synthetic spacecraft to explore how the spacecraft's trajectory affects the CME properties inferred from that data.

## Why it matters

Estimates of CME properties from in-situ spacecraft data depend on the path the spacecraft takes through the event, so this modeling bears on how such measurements should be interpreted.
