Download Mozilla nightly hereSome quick notes what I did here:
I have a environment map that I got from European southern observatory http://www.eso.org/public/ and then i have added 6 planets here with their respective color maps, bump maps , cloud maps. For Saturn the rings are applied with transparency on to a plane. There are particles which is just plasma going around the users eyes. Most of the planet textures are from http://planetpixelemporium.com/planets.html
For sound, I wanted to use Sound Cloud API along with javascript to play audio directly from Sound Cloud. And I wanted to use S.T.A.Y audio track from interstellar. But Sound Cloud API was taking time to setup and hence I used a cover track that I found in Youtube for Interstellar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8riMIlpYsA&feature=youtu.be , this track is embedded into the WebVR code and is just auto playing from Youtube.
Below are some screenshots for the planetary system :
