The X-ray Sky is full of compact sources consisting of accreting black holes in the form of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) and large diffuse objects composed of hot gas at tens of millions of degrees collected in the massive gravitational potential wells of clusters of galaxies. The talk shall introduce and explain the operation of these objects and show how they interact in the process of AGN Feedback. The enormous energy release from black holes shapes the way that galaxies and clusters evolve.
