Welcome!
Hello, AmmarBanafea, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages you might find helpful: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, please see our help pages, and if you can't find what you are looking for there, please feel free to leave me a message or place  on this page and someone will drop by to help. I work with the Wiki Education Foundation, and help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

Copyright question
This is a slightly complicated question, but hopefully I can help you sort it out.

Simple answer is if you take images from a journal article and rearrange them a bit, they're still copyright the original authors (or in this case, Elsevier, since they tend to claim most rights associated with journal articles). At the very least, the journal probably claims copyright over the captions and formatting.

The images themselves are a different question. It's unlikely that the authors took a trip to Io and shot them themselves. So the question comes down to who actually owns the the original images. According to the Wikipedia article on Io, prior to 2004 the moon has been photographed from Pioneer 10 and 11, Voyager 1 and 2, Galileo and Cassini. All are NASA missions, so the original images aren't copyright (although, again, the captions are). Two of the images are recoloured, and that might count as creative work (depends on if it was done by the authors of the study, and if so, whether they are US government employees). The journal article should credit the original source.

In this case, the easiest thing to do would be to do would be to see if you can find the images on NASA's website. For example, there's this collection of images of Io here and there are probably others. Something from that website would, presumably, be in the public domain and could be tagged as PD-USGov -- Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 13:17, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

Thank you
I couldn't find the image I am looking for in the NASA gallery. however, I am taking a different path here. I am going to manipulate one image that NASA have published for public to make it look like the one Elsevier has. Thank you very much Ian. AmmarBanafea (talk) 13:34, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
