What is the atmosphere of Saturn's Moon titan made up of? Is the reason it can hold an atmosphere because it is particularly massive?

Interesting, but, as usual, the amount of text (blocking the view, too) is higly annoying. Please do voiceovers, at least for the more relevant points. Put the rest of the information in small print in a corner, so people who are interested can stop the video and read it at their own speed. Having the text take up so much of the screen spoils the beauty of the pictures.
