Anomalous gravity data during the 1997 total solar eclipse do not support the hypothesis of gravitational shielding art. no. 062002

We present arguments that rule out the recent suggestion by Wang et ni. tha t their observations of anomalous gravity data during the 1997 total solar eclipse in China could be evidence for shielding of gravity of the Sun by t he Moon, or could be painting to some new property of gravitation. In fact, we are able to use their stretch of data obtained before and after the ecl ipse to constrain the characteristic shielding parameter to the Lowest boun d ever from a terrestrial experiment.
