The 90-mile rule, computed for Mississippi

Mississippi Museum of Natural Science is the only ASTC science center we map in Mississippi, so the 90-mile rule plays out at the border: it's free for traveling members of science centers 90+ miles away, and full price for anyone whose home center or home address is closer. Both legs count: your home science center and your home address each have to be 90+ miles away. How the ASTC rule works.
