The 90-mile rule, computed for New Hampshire

New Hampshire's 3 ASTC science centers make 3 pairs, 3 of them under 90 miles apart — members of either can't use the other. McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center to SEE Science Center is the tightest span at 18 miles; McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center to The Children's Museum of New Hampshire is the longest at 34, still under 90. The rule measures from both your home science center and your home address, as the crow flies. How the ASTC rule works.
