Vestal, NY
The course runs through the hills around an observatory, so expect real elevation change rather than a flat loop. The surroundings are open enough that you get a sense of the sky above, which fits a race with this name. It is a road race, hilly by design, and the observatory grounds give it a setting most local 5ks do not have.
