In a statement released by NASA along with footage of the path of the bushfires, NASA stated that "the smoke had travelled halfway around Earth, crossing South America, turning the skies hazy and causing colorful sunrises and sunsets". They added that, "The smoke is expected to make at least one full circuit around the globe, returning once again to the skies over Australia."

NASA's Godardd, which uses NASA instruments detect actively burning fires, track the transport of smoke from fires, provide information for fire management, and map the extent of changes to ecosystems, found that the recent blazes from the bushfires had been so intense that they produced an "unusually large" number of pyrocumulonimbus events - or fire-generated thunderstorms.
The smoke from the fires which reached the stratosphere had even recorded a height of 17.7 km.
