Forward scattering is the deflection of waves by small angles so that they continue to move in close to the same direction as before the scattering. It can occur with all types of waves, for instance

Saturn eclipses the Sun, as seen from the Cassini space probe. The forward scattering of light makes the faint outer rings more visible.

Diffraction is the deviation of waves from straight-line propagation due to an obstacle or through an aperture, without any change in their energy. Diffraction is the same physical effect as interfere
