NGC 6388
NGC 6388 is a globular cluster located in the constellation Scorpius. The cluster was discovered by Scottish astronomer James Dunlop on May 13, 1826 using a reflector telescope. Due to its moderate apparent magnitude (+6.72), a telescope is required to see it.
ΛCDM cosmology predicts that large galaxies such as the Milky Way formed by accretion of hundreds of smaller “protogalactic fragments”, perhaps not unlike the progenitors of the present-day dwarf spheroidal satellites (e.g., Abadi et al., 2003) 
Two very massive globular clusters in the Galactic bulge, NGC 6388 and NGC 6441, have recently been suggested to be the remnants of dwarf galaxies that were accreted in the course of the Galaxy's history (Ree et al., 2002). These clusters might prove similar to
