A planet ripped apart - NGC 6388 - not found in navigation

NGC 6388 is not found in navigation.
To bad, because I would like to see this phenomenon for myself:

The destruction of a planet may sound like the stuff of science fiction, but a team of astronomers has found evidence that this may have happened in an ancient cluster of stars at the edge of the Milky Way galaxy.

Using several telescopes, including NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, researchers have found evidence that a white dwarf star – the dense core of a star like the Sun that has run out of nuclear fuel – may have ripped apart a planet as it came too close.

There are many types of phenomenon that are not in the game. You will only find: stars, planets/moons, asteroids, black holes, and nebulae mostly.
