TL;DR Summary

Astronomers have recently discovered 62 new moons around Saturn, bringing the total number of confirmed moons orbiting the planet to 145. These moons have remained hidden for so long due to their small size, irregular orbits, and the limitations of early observation techniques. However, advancements in digital photography and CCD mosaic cameras have allowed astronomers to detect these faint and elusive moons. The discoveries offer insights into the formation and collisional history of Saturn's moons, and further discoveries are expected as technology and techniques continue to improve.
