The symmetry of the mirrors allows for three different optical prescriptions on the 18 segments, or six of each. Image Credit; NASA Focus Images, All Of The Lights, Pretty Images

All Of The Lights

The hexagonal shape of each mirror allows the segments to fit together without gaps; if the segments were circular, there would be spaces between them. The overall mirror shape is roughly circular because it focuses the light into the most compact region on the detectors – an oval mirror would give images that are elongated and a square mirror would send a lot of the light out of the central region.
