About Talks:
2010年6月、小惑星探査機「はやぶさ」は数々の苦難を乗り越え、太陽系の小惑星・イトカワの微粒子の回収し地球に帰還した。その回収と初期分析を主導した、惑星科学者、中村智樹氏が、世界中の期待を背負ったカプセルの開封、そして微粒子の収集という難局を乗り越え、原始天体イトカワから太陽系の起源の謎に迫る。小さな粒子から見えてきたものとは。

"In June 2010, after overcoming numerous difficulties, the asteroid probe HAYABUSA returned to earth with samples of dust from Itokawa, an asteroid in the solar system.
Planetary scientist Tomoki Nakamura received worldwide attention when he opened Hayabusa's capsule to collect and analyze the dust samples. 
Based on analysis of this tiny piece of dust brought home from space, he navigates us through the mystery of the solar system's origin.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)

About TED 
TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. Started as a four-day conference in California 26 years ago, TED has grown to support those world-changing ideas with multiple initiatives. At TED, the world's leading thinkers and doers are asked to give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes. Talks are then made available, free, at TED.com. TED speakers have included Bill Gates, Jane Goodall, Elizabeth Gilbert, Sir Richard Branson, Benoit Mandelbrot, Philippe Starck, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Isabel Allende and former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown. Two major TED events are held each year: The TED Conference takes place every spring in Long Beach, California (along with a parallel conference, TEDActive, in Palm Springs), and TEDGlobal is held each summer in Edinburgh, Scotland.

TED's media initiatives include TED.com, where new TEDTalks are posted daily; the new TED Conversations, enabling broad conversations among TED fans; and the Open Translation Project, which provides subtitles and interactive transcripts as well as the ability for any TEDTalk to be translated by volunteers worldwide.

TED has established the annual TED Prize, where exceptional individuals with a wish to change the world are given the opportunity to put their wishes into action; TEDx, which offers individuals or groups a way to host local, self-organized events around the world; and the TED Fellows program, helping world-changing innovators from around the globe to become part of the TED community and, with its help, amplify the impact of their remarkable projects and activities.
