Rhyolite can be considered as the extrusive equivalent to the plutonic granite rock, and consequently, outcrops of rhyolite may bear a resemblance to granite. Due to their high content of silica and low iron and magnesium contents, rhyolite melts are highly polymerized and form highly viscous lavas. They also occur as breccias or in volcanic plugs and dikes. Rhyolites that cool too quickly to grow crystals form a natural glass or vitrophyre, also called obsidian. Slower cooling forms microscopic crystals in the lava and results in textures such as flow foliations, spherulitic, nodular, and lithophysal structures. Some rhyolite is highly vesicularpumice. Many eruptions of rhyolite are highly explosive and the deposits may consist of fallout tephra/tuff or of ignimbrites.
Aquacade, previously designated Rhyolite, was a class of SIGINTspy satellites operated by the National Reconnaissance Office for the United States Central Intelligence Agency. The National Security Agency (NSA) was also reportedly involved. The program, also known by SIGAD AFP-720 and SIGAD AFP-472, respectively, is still classified. During the same period, the Canyon SIGNIT satellites were in use with an apparently somewhat different set of capabilities.
The name of the program, originally "Rhyolite", was changed to "Aquacade" in 1975 following the disclosure of the codeword "Rhyolite" in the trial of Christopher Boyce and Andrew Lee.
The Rhyolite/Aquacade satellites, made by TRW, are rumored to have an umbrella-like reflecting dish 20 meters in diameter. They were succeeded by the Magnum/Orion and Mentor series of satellites.
A major purpose of the Rhyolite satellites was reportedly the interception of Soviet and Chinese microwave relay signals traffic. During the 1960s-70s, much of the long distance telephone and data traffic in both the US and Eastern Europe was carried by terrestrial microwave relay links, each consisting of a dish antenna on a microwave tower that transmitted a narrow beam of microwaves to a receiving dish in a nearby city. A good deal of the microwave beam would miss the receiving dish and, because of the curvature of the Earth, radiate out into space. By placing a satellite in a geosynchronous orbit at a position in the sky where it could intercept the beam, the US government was able to listen in on Soviet telephone calls and telex cables during the Cold War.
By the mid 80's something happened in the ghost town of Rhyolite: artwork began to appear. http://bit.ly/2DLZwX6

Rhyolite Rock Properties
Properties of the igneous rock rhyolite
Light in color there it is classified as felsic
Rhyolite contains over 70% silica which gives this rock it a light color
Because the crystals are so small it is an extrusive igneous rock and cooled quickly
in rhyolite the crystals are often too small to see. This is due to the rapid cooling of the rhyolite lava
Rhyolite is produced by violent volcanic eruptions.
Density 2.4 -2.6 g/cm3
The texture of Rhyolite is fined grain and is classified as aphanitic
In summary
Igneous
Felsic
Extrusive
Fine-grained Aphanitic

Rhyolite, Nevada - A Historic & Photo-Worthy Ghost Town
Sometimes even the locals need to escape Las Vegas for a day! Join us as we travel about 120 miles north of Vegas, up Interstate 95 to the boomtown-gone-bust destination of Rhyolite. There are atmospheric and beautiful remains from this century-old mining town, just waiting to be explored and photographed. Rhyolite is barely 2 hours from the excitement of the Strip, and even closer to Death Valley - it's a day trip for history buffs and amateur photographers, and a desert adventure we couldn't resist!

Rhyolite can be considered as the extrusive equivalent to the plutonic granite rock, and consequently, outcrops of rhyolite may bear a resemblance to granite. Due to their high content of silica and low iron and magnesium contents, rhyolite melts are highly polymerized and form highly viscous lavas. They also occur as breccias or in volcanic plugs and dikes. Rhyolites that cool too quickly to grow crystals form a natural glass or vitrophyre, also called obsidian. Slower cooling forms microscopic crystals in the lava and results in textures such as flow foliations, spherulitic, nodular, and lithophysal structures. Some rhyolite is highly vesicularpumice. Many eruptions of rhyolite are highly explosive and the deposits may consist of fallout tephra/tuff or of ignimbrites.
A red ball of fire hung low in the sky On a black velvet curtain that I can't describe The ghosts all have ghosts - the hills all have eyes And I just took my girl out here for a ride A halo of bats surrounded the lights Near the glass house she vanished into the night Now my bike won't start, the spark plugs won't spark And we're stuck north of Vegas in the town of Rhyolite Rhyolite My girl must have put up one hell of a fight Barely alive by the time I started my bike We tried to get outta town, but we, we got turned around Because everyone wakes up dead in Rhy-hy-hy-hy-olite Rhyolite
