The 90-mile rule, computed for Florida

Florida's 18 ASTC science centers make 153 pairs, 31 of them under 90 miles apart — members of either can't use the other. Nearest neighbors are Cade Museum for Creativity and Invention and Florida Museum of Natural History (3 mi); the widest gap, 536 mi, separates Pensacola MESS Hall from Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science — far enough to qualify. It's measured twice — from your home science center and from your home address — in straight-line miles. How the ASTC rule works.
