Default X-rays from Earth (or from the Sun?)

Interesting article from Nasa about X-rays from planets.
They plan to turn Chandra X-ray observatory on Earth. See animated
Jupiter's hot spot.

From this article as per astronomer Ron Elsner...

". . . planets have turned out to be pretty interesting x-ray
SOURCES, . . ." (my caps)

And yet it seems to me that the Venus image strongly
suggests that, at least with the terrestrial planets, these
are REFLECTED x rays from the Sun...

aren't they?

happy days and...
starry starry nights!

Gaia shadow come November,
Does this bode well for December?
Moon aglow as I remember,
Tremble, tremble glowing ember,
Seems my life's a severed member.
