Vermont's 2 ASTC science centers make 1 pairs, 1 of them under 90 miles apart — members of either can't use the other. Nearest neighbors are VERMONT ECHO, Leahy Center for Lake Champlain and Fairbanks Museum & Planetarium (61 mi); the widest gap, 61 mi, separates VERMONT ECHO, Leahy Center for Lake Champlain from Fairbanks Museum & Planetarium — and even that falls short. It's measured twice — from your home science center and from your home address — in straight-line miles. How the ASTC rule works.
