"As long as 21 years Hubble has become a major centre for scientific observations, gives us a lot of new and beautiful pictures in astronomy," said Charles Bolden, Administrator of NASA.
The one million observation made by the Hubble is the planet HAT-P-7b, its a giant gas planet that is larger than Jupiter, and orbits the star is hotter than our Sun.
HAT-P-7b's known as the Kepler 2b, has been studied by Kepler, while Hubble telescope is used to analyze the chemical composition of the planet's atmosphere.
"We are looking for possible presence of water. These observations are quite difficult, because to get the result may take many months, "said Drake Deming of the University of Maryland and Godard Space Flight Center.
Deming also add that Hubble's capability is perfect in researching of exoplanetary atmosphere. "We're also happy if such research was revealed," he said.
