Hey @flyingfish93,
thanks for your article.
As you are probably aware of, the @steemstem community has given itself high standards, when it comes to copyright issues.
I want to encourage you to use proper licenced images for your articles, which means using free pictures which can be commercially used. More information regarding this can be found at the steemSTEM-guidelines and beyond this link.
If you have any additional questions, feel free to ask!
Best regards
Egotheist

Usually, the Google image search tool "labeled for reuse" should do the trick. Quite often, it will show you images on pixabay.com.
In general: if you can't see a licence at an image, better not use it. The best pictures for usage are the ones with PD (Public Domain - no copyrights) or CC0 (Creative Commons licensed - the creator has set zero terms on their use). There are some others you can use, but this is usually explained next to them.

@egotheist I apologize if I make a mistake, this will be the first and last. should I remove the #steemstem tag?

Mistakes happen, that's why we're here :)
I don't think, you should remove it. Just change the pictures and it should be alright. Changing them is also for your own protection: some lawyers are specialized in suing copyright violations.

You did well :)
Just one more thing: your references should be credited with more precision. Just provide the exact links to your sources.

Well, I know, that I may seem narrow-minded, but I'm not satisfied with the referencing ;)
Just using "wikipedia.org" or another website with its main page is not proper referencing. I assume, you have used certain sources to write your article - just link the exact websites you've used.
