Is there something strange with the gravity during total solar eclipses?

AI Thread Summary
Observations indicate a slight variation in Earth's gravity during total solar eclipses, with differences measured at approximately 10^-9. Some suggest this could be attributed to atmospheric phenomena, such as air turbulence occurring during eclipses. The possibility of a new gravity phenomenon is raised, prompting further inquiry into the underlying causes. Previous discussions on this topic exist, indicating ongoing interest and research. Understanding these gravitational changes could enhance knowledge of both gravity and atmospheric effects.

I have found some papers about strange observations in the Earth gravity during total solar eclipses. There is a very small difference (~10^-9) but there is a differnce (see the attachment).
Is there the possibility to be a new gravity phenomenon?

I think that it can be an atmospheric phenomenon, there are a lot of air turbulence during eclipses which maybe can cause these differences...

Your opinions please.

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
