There are plenty of celestial bodies that emit xrays - while others scatter, reflect, or alter the energy of electromagnetic radiation into the x-ray range. Sources that emit x-rays include pulsars or neutron stars, the accretion disks of black holes, stars - particularly ones with certain types of companions, stellar remnants such as from supernovae, entire galaxies (with and without active nuclei) and to some extent, even the universe as a whole; though some of this is generally attributed to mechanisms which heat gas. There are even x-ray sources within the solar system, including the Moon, since not all of its observed x-ray emission is simply reflected from the Sun.
