SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on observed anomalies in Earth's gravity during total solar eclipses, with a noted difference of approximately 10^-9. Participants speculate whether this could indicate a new gravitational phenomenon or if it is attributable to atmospheric conditions, particularly air turbulence. Previous discussions on this topic are referenced, suggesting ongoing interest and investigation into the relationship between eclipses and gravitational variations.

PREREQUISITES

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.
