The Multiple Mirror Telescope (MMT) was the first telescope to use a honeycomb pattern of smaller mirrors to create the effect of a larger mirror. This design helped to minimize some of the difficulties associated with manufacturing and maintaining large, single-piece mirrors.
The first telescope to use many mirrors in a honeycomb pattern was the Keck Observatory's Keck I telescope, which became operational in 1993. This innovative design employs an array of smaller hexagonal mirrors to create a large effective aperture while reducing the weight and structural challenges associated with a single large mirror. This approach allows for greater flexibility in mirror fabrication and alignment, leading to improved performance in astronomical observations.

yes
A reflector telescope collects light with a mirror. The mirror is located at the back of the telescope and reflects the incoming light to a focal point where it is then collected by an eyepiece for viewing.
