It's not just the rings
> But recent modeling suggests some of Saturn’s moons may be younger, possibly only 100 million years old or less.
>One way scientists can tell the ages of Saturn's is by looking at how closely the moons orbit the planet. A gravitational tug-of-war between planets and their satellites pushes the orbits of satellites outward into space slowly over very long periods of time. (For example, our moon is drifting away from Earth each year at about the rate that fingernails grow.) The recent study suggests that, if Saturn’s moons were as old as the solar system, ones that are close to the rings would’ve drifted much farther away by now. This conclusion conflicts with the apparent age of the moons from their heavily cratered surfaces, but it adds new ideas to the ongoing quest to puzzle out the history of the Saturn system.

Titan is in the ring plane so you wouldn't see shit anyway. Iapetus will be the tourist spot
