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.

1. There is an attraction between the nucleus and the electrons

Yes.

2. They call them orbitals

Yes, that is the name given to different states of the
energy quantum number.

They are not called "orbits", because they are not
orbits. That's why they were given a different name.

3. These orbitals are circular or elliptical in shape

No, they aren't.

Don't make up physics.

Actually, the 1s orbital is generally spherical in shape.
Other orbitals vary in shape, and get wackier the higher
the number goes.

:-)

Of course things get a little fuzzy anyway; it's less like
a hard metal ball and more like a fuzzy cloud.

Makes life interesting.

Take a Sun, take planets that repel each other, bring them "close"
together, increase their velocity, make it the only way of measuring a
planets location by throwing another planet or moon at it (a single
photon (abosrbed or emitted) is sufficient to make an electron change
orbitals = Heisenberg's uncertainty) and we will see if they STILL
OBEY KEPLER's SIMPLE ORBIT...or if they fall within Shrodinger's
equation. Even water (close together water molecules) forms waves.
