Plenty of south Pierce County residents watched the lunar eclipse Sunday night. Views like this of the shadowed moon rising behind Mount Rainier attracted throngs at Clear Lake and the Eatonville-area Dogwood Park, where the parking lot was full of cars. The spectacle, which depending on vantage points was visible for two hours or more, was what astronomers call a supermoon eclipse. That's when a full moon appears larger and brighter than normal because it's at its closest point to Earth and is perfectly lined up with the planet and the sun. (Tony Sirgedas/for The Dispatch)
