It is widely believed that the diffuse X-ray background, observed on several occasions over the energy range from 0.25 keV to above 1 MeV has an extragalactic origin. Evidence for this comes from the generally reported isotropy above several keV [1, 2, 3] and the observed galactic latitude dependence at 0.25 keV, believed to result from the interstellar attenuation of these low energy photons in passage through the Galaxy [4, 5].
