"Researchers are reporting the results of the most sensitive and high-resolution survey to date of three molecular clouds in the Central Molecular Zone near the Milky Way's galactic center, and those three regions are absolutely paying out like slot machines, if slot machines paid out protoplanetary disks.

It's literally a "Keep It Simple, Stupid" approach.
