The following description was prepared by William Gross:

Just as it is customary to mark the new moon with blessings, since Talmudic times, it has been customary to mark the return of the sun to the place in its cycle Jewish tradition says it occupied during the week of creation. According to the rabbis of the Talmud (Berakhot 59b), every twenty-eight years this happens "on the evening of Tuesday, going into Wednesday". Tractate Berakhot instructs that the blessing appropriate to be recited on the anniversary of this event is: Barukh oseh Vereshit, or in English: Blessed is the One who (continually) creates.

This page was printed for the occurrence of this rare event in 1841.
