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.".

(http://www.astronomynotes.com/starprop/s10.htm)

No objects ever orbit around any other objects. All objects will
orbit a common center of mass under gravitational interaction.

Wonder if an atom's nucleus would also have such properties.

No, since (as you have been told many times) an electron
is not in a little Keplerian orbit around the nucleus.
