Any telescope will do this but traditionally the old fashioned brass telescopes were refracting telescopes.
A refracting or refractor telescope is a dioptric telescope that uses a lens as its objective to form an image. The refracting telescope design was originally used in spy glasses and astronomical telescopes but is also used in other devices such as binoculars and long or telephoto camera lenses. == ==

The light from distant stars and other objects can be distorted in many ways which type of optical telescope best avoids the problem caused by distortion?
Space Telescope such as the Hubble Space Telescope
What telescope collects light with a mirror?
The type of telescope is called a reflector. There are multiple subtypes of reflectors like a dobsonian, newtonian, RC, etc. Check out my youtube video on how to work with pictures taken from a telescope. youtu.be/M7-vLeVhM9g
Is hershelian a type of telescope?
Yes, a Hershelian telescope is a type of reflecting telescope in which the primary mirror is tilted so the observer's head does not block the incoming light.
How do planets look through a telescope?
Telescopes are inanimate objects and dont' "see" anything. However, yes, reflector telescopes can be used to observe planets; the vast majority of large scopes are of the reflector type.
How is the image projected through a telescope?
The main lens or mirror produces a virtual image of the obect being looked at, and it occurs at a distance behind the lens (or in front of the mirror) equal to the focal length. The telescope also has an eyepiece whose function is to allow the oberver to see the virtual image. Many telescopes come with a range of different eyepieces that give different amounts of magnification.

What is a telescope that uses a mirror to collect light emitted by distant or faint objects?
This type of telescope is often referred to as a Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope, and can be short and wide. They have an eyepiece that extends at a right angle from the body, and have a disk in the middle of the lens, behind which is the mirror.
What type of telescope is most often used to view distant objects?
Reflecting telescopes are far-and-away the most common. This is because the telescope can be smaller and lighter, and because lenses always absorb a little light while mirrors can be almost perfect reflectors.

What type of telescope is the Webb telescope?
A Cassegrain reflector
What happens when you increase the diameter of a telescope?
Specifically if you increase the diameter of the main lens, or of the main mirror (depending on the type of the telescope), you'll be able to observe dimmer objects (stars, planets, etc.). Also, the telescope's resolving power (angular resolution) improves with a bigger mirror/lens. For example, with a bigger mirror/lens you'll be able to distinguish two stars that are closer together as separate objects.
What type of reflector telescope is viewed from the same position as the refractor telescope?
The Newtonian Telescope.
