What is meant exactly by the “powers of the heavens” in Matthew 24:29?

Matt 24:29-30 (KJV)
Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

What are the powers of the heavenly bodies that could be shaken? Could this refer to a disturbance in the electromagnetic field or the forces of gravity perhaps?

An internet search of credible possibilities led me to some interesting information: National Geographic, Space.com
