This paper presents an analysis of gravimetric data obtained during the solar eclipseexperiment (arXiv:1003.4947v1), with emphasis on the temporal characteristics of theobserved anomalies. By applying a correction for the light travel time from the Sun to theEarth (8 min 20 s), refined time markers of the visual contact moments are obtained.After applying this correction, the temporal profile of the anomalies demonstrates near-perfectsymmetry relative to the contact points. The obtained result is consistent with theassumption of instantaneous propagation of gravitational influence or the existence ofinteraction components whose speed significantly exceeds the speed of light.LIGO observations do not provide a direct test of instantaneous propagation and thereforedo not contradict the obtained results. The application of an original methodology forfurther, more detailed investigations is proposed.
