What do you call viking poets?
A skald (there's a variant spelling "scald" also, but frankly I've seen skald much more often) is a Scandinavian "poet" of the Viking age, though perhaps "bard" might be a more accurate equivalent. Skalds were primarily performers, not writers, though some of their poetry has survived in written form. Skaldic poetry was usually spoken, not chanted or sung, and the skald held a semi-privileged position at court in that skalds were generally allowed (and even encouraged) to speak harsh truths to those in positions of power.

What did people think about the solar system?
In general terms any unusual natural event was seen as a sign from the Gods, or a portent of something that was to happen. In Norse Mythology the Sun was chased across the sky every day by the Wolf Skoll. Skoll was intent on devouring the Sun and it was believed that Skoll was taking bites out of the Sun during the Eclipse. Of course the Sun would magically reappear to light the world but the skalds told that at Ragnarok then Skoll would be sated and darkness and ice would cover Midgard.
