The impact of the dramatic terminal phases of the lives of Sun-like stars on their orbiting planets is currently uncertain. Observations with NAOS CONICA and SPHERE/ZIMPOL in 2014-2015 have revealed that the nearby red giant star L2 Puppis is surrounded by an almost edge-on disc of dust and gas. We have observed several remarkable features in L2 Pup: plumes, spirals, and a secondary source (L2 Pup B) which is embedded in the disc at a projected separation of 2 au. ALMA observations have allowed us to measure a mass of 0.659 ± 0.043 M⊙ for the central star. This indicates that L2 Pup is a close analogue of the future Sun at an age of 10 Gyr. We also estimate the mass of L2 Pup B to be 12 ± 16 MJup, implying that it is likely a planet or a br...
