No, Titan has a thick, methane rich atmosphere. This is Enceladus.

Iapetus, discovered by Giovanni Domenico Cassini in 1671.

Here, the Cassini orbiter ejects its Huygens probe to enter Titan's atmosphere.

The US Cassini-Huygens space probe.

Did not have the eyes to detect, nor its operators the wit to discern the terrible secret of Iapetus.

fun fact: The Roche limit (pronounced /?ro??/), sometimes referred to as the Roche radius, is the distance within which a celestial body, held together only by its own gravity, will disintegrate due to a second celestial body's tidal forces exceeding the first body's gravitational self-attraction.[1] Inside the Roche limit, orbiting material will tend to disperse and form rings, while outside the limit, material will tend to coalesce. The term is named after Édouard Roche, the French astronomer who first calculated this theoretical limit in 1848.[2]

on saturn it is so cold it rains helium. it's clouds are composed of ammonia crystals, and it's wind speeds have been recorded at 1800 kilometers per hour. not counting its core, saturn is less dense than water.

I don't know if it's just the lens, but that guy looks, well, screwed. I hope he has some good momentum.

Well I'd say these two space threads have been rather epic. Thanks for sharing your pix after spacetime was done.
