On Tuesday morning, solar activity news website Spaceweather.com reported: "There are two sunspots on the farside of the sun so large they are affecting the way the sun vibrates."
The study of the sun's vibrations is known as helioseismology, and it's a key area of solar science. Helioseismology involves studying sound waves from inside the sun, which can give clues as to what's happening on parts of the sun we can't see.
It's similar to regular seismology here on Earth, in which scientists can work out what's going on inside our planet by studying sound waves that travel through our planet.
The sun is a ball of hot gas, so sound waves travel through its interior very well. Of course, scientists can't hear these sound waves from Earth, but they can detect them by measuring small changes in the light given off by the sun, according to the European Space Agency ...

Sunspots were doing that billions of years before we had the instruments to measure the change.
Two years ago all the talk was about the LACK of sunspots.
Some people are silly.

Could the sun vibrate off a chunk about 10 times the size of the earth and send it directly to earth?

Another “sky is falling”? Will they mandate that we have to rub a very special Pfizer sunscreen on our body in order to go outside?

Meanwhile at spaceweather.com:
QUIET SUN: Today, solar activity is low. The solar disk is peppered with sunspots, but all of them have stable magnetic fields unlikely to explode. NOAA forecasters say there is a 5% chance of M-class flares and no more than a 1% chance of X-flares on Sept. 8th. Solar flare alerts: SMS Text.
Fear sells I guess.

The sunscreen will have mRNA designed to make our cells produce more melanin. In other words, it will make us all black.
