What do you call someone who studies meteors?

[nq:1]If meteorologists don't study meteors, who does? I know astronomers do, but is there a name for the specialty?[/nq]
I think you just have to call them 'meteor specialists' or 'meteor experts', don't you?

Oh, but we do. We study hydrometeors, electrometeors, lithometeors, usw.

Speaking of meteors, are all those little rocks on the new Mars photos meteors that have crashed into the surface over millions of years? If so, would the Earth look just like it if we didn't have an atmosphere?

Speaking of meteor experts, shouldn't hemorrhoids be called asteroids?

I know at least 2 meteorologists who like to study meteors. I suppose they do other things during the day, but frankly I never asked.

Good luck and good sailing.

There's a discussion about this on a board at www.meteorobs.com http://www.meteorobs.org/maillist/msg17327.html which basically comes up with "meteoricist" for one who studies meteo

I read that second word as electricity meters and had visions of you turning up at my front door in a peaked hat with a clipboard.

The real meteorologists do study meteors.
However, English is Munglish.
