Abstract
The Maxwell-like gravitational field equations have been generalized and coupled through the gravitational four-potential on the electromagnetic Maxwell's equations. It is shown that this has several astrophysical consequences, of which the main are the following (i) the gravitational instability of a system of mass bodies manifesting itself by a Hubble-like motion on cosmological scales, (ii) the possible change of light intensity propagating through a large distance (and so a possible change of the real energy output of some very distant objects, e.g., quasars), (iii) non-stability of a planetary system on the cosmological time scales, due to the momentum increase of the moving bodies in a generalized gravitational field.
