B-2 intake picture, something interesting

Hello. Over at ATS, I know I know, though, someone has posted some pictures of aerial refueling of many planes. One was a B-2. In the one picture you can see round object in the intake of the B-2. What is this?

At first I thought it was the front of an jet engine, though, this round object sits in the middle of the intake. There is also a round curve pylon in the middle of the intake so the view angle of picture could be throwing the picture off for the round object.

I guess this could still be classified, but, does the air that gets sucked in for the jet engines go through some device or assembly before heading to the jet engines. These pictures sure are interesting to say the least.
