Mag -3.0 ISS!

I'd been reading stories on various sites about how bright the ISS is, now that it's got its new solar panels installed. Visible even in daylight.

But I hadn't seen evidence of it yet, since we were clouded out for so many recent passes and I hadn't even bothered checking heavens-above.

But I checked heavens-above this morning, and on the 2nd July at 6pm there's a mag -3.0 pass over my location!! And it's only at 47deg altitude! I wonder how much brighter it'll be when it's overhead!??
