Explore: Gravitation (astrophysics)

Gravitational waves are oscillations of the gravitational field that travel through space at the speed of light; they are generated by the relative motion

physics, gravity (from Latin gravitas 'weight'), also known as gravitation or a gravitational interaction, is a fundamental interaction, which may be described

astroparticle physics. Relativistic astrophysics serves as a tool to gauge the properties of large-scale structures for which gravitation plays a significant role

In astrophysics, accretion is the accumulation of particles into a massive object by gravitationally attracting more matter, typically gaseous matter

The gravitational constant is an empirical physical constant that gives the strength of the gravitational field induced by a mass. It is involved in the

lower the gravitational potential (the closer the clock is to the source of gravitation), the slower time passes, speeding up as the gravitational potential

The gravitational interaction of antimatter with matter or antimatter has been observed by physicists. As was predicted by most physicists, the experiment
