Can anyone draw (perhaps animated gif) a simulation of two orbiting
planets of SAME MASS?

I cannot image how two same mass orbits would look like? ....would
they propagate forward or remain in one constant region?

One location, which doesn't seem to make sense, says: "Since stars
have about the same mass (within a factor of 20), they both orbit
around a common point, called the center of mass, that is
significantly different from one of the star's center.".

It makes no sense only if the fulcrum of a lever makes no sense.

Too bad...All I see is a still gif picture, I must have a Microsoft
patch or antivirus software that disabled animated gifs.
