Perseverance, James Webb ST, TESS, all come to mind. The common thread is that we're finding there's a lot to look at locally and with much higher fidelity than ever before, including Mars, Enceladus, and small bodies like Ceres, and bodies we've kind of written off, such as Venus. Even the Parker Solar Probe could fit this pattern. And that's not even including the stunning work in asteroid co-flying. The breadth of breakthrough research being done close to home is remarkable.
