Default how will the ISS appear to the unaided eye once the new pieces are added ?
I have been observing the ISS with just the unaided eye since April
2002.

when the current shuttle Atlantis mission is complete and the new truss
& solar panel pieces are added, how significantly brighter/larger can
we expect the ISS to look when it passes near-directly overhead ?
