Not a chance. The sun is a variable star, so this means that the output of the sun will change by a small (for the sun) percentage. The sun is not massive enough to collapse into a black hole, only massive stars do that. These types of changes are perfectly normal for the sun, it has its 11 year cycle and 30-something year cycle (I think 36, but I am not too sure) that we have observed with sunspot activity over the past century, but there may be other, longer cycles that we just don’t know about, mainly because we haven’t been studying the sun for that long.

Well that’s a bit of info to digest, pretty interesting, thanks, and a relief to know. Sun cycles, hmm.
Also, I didn’t even realize that a sun (which has to be massive evidently) would collapse into a black hole, I thought the black hole came near it and pulled it in.
