Excellent work
Learning more about our Sun's life is going to be very helpful, teaching us about the possibilities everywhere else. Our Sun has evolved, our planet has been created, life of the planet has appeared and we are here today. When you look at the local galactic history we can hope that intelligent life has been created elsewhere too, but so far no evidence.
How do we find other forms of intelligent life?
I don't think that transmitting modern data into the universe would be as helpful to alert other forms of intelligent life as we would see if we only broadcast all of Ludwig van Beethoven's music, or Edward Elgar's Enigma Variations, into the Universe - proof of our intelligence and abilities at a much higher level than just saying "Hi, is anyone out there listening to us on Facebook?"
